Explore Woodacre, California, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Woodacre, California. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of California or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Woodacre.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Woodacre occupies a singular hollow where the coastal fog curls inward, softening the edges of the oak savanna and the sharp, sun-bleached grasses of the surrounding terrain. It lies 5.3 miles west-northwest of San Anselmo, CA (from San Anselmo, CA: bearing 300°T), and is situated 6.8 miles west-northwest of San Rafael. The air here holds a distinct, cooling weight, drifting across the landscape from the direction of Bolinas Lagoon as the afternoon light shifts toward a pale, translucent gold. Nearby, the quiet progress of Cascade Creek carves a narrow, shaded path through the undergrowth, its movement a constant, low-frequency hum beneath the rustle of leaves. While the towering peaks of the Coast Ranges remain distant silhouettes against the horizon, the immediate land is defined by the Gary Giacomini Open Space Preserve, which anchors the wilderness right to the doorstep of the residential lanes.
Woodacre preserves a quiet, deliberate pace that feels removed from the frantic pulse of the wider world, favoring the slow accumulation of seasons over the rush of commerce. The economy remains tethered to the land and the modest needs of those who choose to live away from the dense urban corridors, with the nearby Nicasio Reservoir serving as a quiet witness to the region’s long-standing relationship with its water sources. Residents often look toward the paths of the Old Sled Trail to trace the topography of the Bull Tail Valley, finding a sense of continuity in the way the terrain has resisted rapid development. Even the distant presence of Childrens Island serves as a reminder of the proximity to the sea, though the life of Woodacre remains firmly rooted in the quiet, inland rhythm of the woods and the persistent, patient growth of the oaks.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
